  • Early tourism at Conduit House

    I am clearly not the first to appreciate the place. I know because as I approach the building, a beam of sunlight catches the incisions of hundreds of jottings carved into the very fabric of the limestone walls. Some are ages old, and so well-crafted that I can only assume that when they were made, the idea of writing your name on to a public monument was not deemed the crime it is today. The earliest dates from 1634, left by a pair of rascals with the initials PC and IS.
